Concept

Our idea is to create a path made of a beautifully twisted creeper stand with side seating extensions - forming two spaces for activities. Seasonal creepers will adorn the stands and form a green and flowering portal path. A path for recovery, walking mindfulness, a conversation...

The pearl path will meander through the landscape, disappearing in one place and reappearing in another. It will incorporate elements from the planned garden and both accentuate them and utilise them - like pearls on a healing string. In this way, the artwork - the Pearl Path - feels as if it is sprinkled throughout the garden - but without dominating it. On the path there are technological devices that offer programmes such as rehabilitation, nature mindfulness exercises, meditations or reflections on health.

In addition, there will be two spaces surrounded by vines:

1. One is a contemplation room with a large oval surrounding a smaller oval. The 15 metre oval - surrounded by 2.5 m high x 1 m wide plant stand sections with 2.5 m between each - will offer space for movement, yoga, mindfulness, gymnastics and rehabilitation exercises - a reimagined outdoor nature gym. The smaller room at the bottom of the oval is surrounded by a semi-transparent bead curtain with an adapted ‘thing place’ that forms a meditation and contemplation space where we sit in a circle on large flat boulders with rubber pads around a healing flowerbed. See attached illustrations.

2. The second room is an activity room - similarly with a large oval around a smaller one. The large oval is for more physical activity and play, community, chat, music and cosiness. There can be climbing sections of the plant stand, benches made of stone (with rubber seats), which can also be used for playing earth is toxic or parkour. In the small oval, there is a larger oak dining table with similar stone chairs - possibly sunk into a depression in the ground if drainage and other issues can be solved within the budget.

The process

Through our involvement process, which we have extensive experience with, we will understand the functions, needs, values and visions of the health centre and adapt the Pearl Trail to this. For example, we are thinking about user involvement:

• About guides and programmes for rehabilitation, relaxation, mindfulness, movement (for the technological devices) that we can use on the Pearl Trail
• Representatives from the different types of housing in the area (detached, shared, public housing, vulnerable housing area) about needs in relation to park
• Dialogue with local mindfulness, yoga and psychology practitioners about the shape and use of the plant rooms.

Elements

• Creeper portal paths made of plant stands of bent painted metal - e.g. with swings, seating, possibly climbing opportunities
• Bead curtain sections of preferably weather and vandal-resistant natural materials (glass, wood, stone, metal, bells) that provide colour and soft movement in wind and touch all year round
• Spaces for relaxation and activity respectively
• Seating, boulders with a ‘rubber mat’ (like the Elephant House at the Zoo - rubber on concrete)
• Technology: Guides and programmes for rehabilitation, relaxation, mindfulness, movement (QR code, app, speaker with selection buttons or similar)

Realisation

We have extensive experience in realising urban space and park projects and have our own architect and landscape architect. We will develop one (or 2-3 different pieces) of curved metal modules that can be assembled into the entire path and around the spaces - these are either welded on site or bolted together. These will need foundations and power for the technological devices. We are thinking of integrating our system with the general system so that solutions are cheaper. We also propose that the same landscaper who lays out the garden also lays out our creepers and is responsible for start-up operations.
